I don´t have a stove in the garage, but I do have a spare gas bottle there from my pizza oven. I just plan to grab this one.

I prefer gas burners, way more familiar with them. But that´s just preference.

Yes that will suffice

The pressure regulator on your PC will make sure that it does not explode

If your PC does not have a pressure regulator...get a new PC unless you want your garage to explode...which you dont

When I was living more rural I would run the PC outside on a big propane burner. Most of them are aluminum and will not work on an induction burner, because aluminum isnt magnetic. I also like gas because it doesnt cycle up and down like almost all electric burners do.

Why are paper towels the go to for removing small puddles? I have been using pipettes, but only ever seem to see paper towels on the forum.

I squirt the metabolite into a clean cup to go into compost later, and dunk the pipette in iso 70 in between each puddle. Am I doing more harm to the ecosystem with a pipette?

You can really quickly mop up pooling water with a paper towel and have the tub open for a lot less time than using a pipette would take. If your sub is colonized you don't need to worry about introducing a contam that much.

Because using a pipette will take infinitely longer

No harm is done to the ecosystem..it just takes way too long for people

Using a paper towel is just infinitely faster and it doesn't hurt the ecosystem either

What do you mean when you say 'cycle up and down'

They dont maintain a constant level of heating, it goes up and down in a cycle. Simmer some water in an open pot, you'll see it dip below boiling and then back up again.

I will edit this post once I am home to show you the setup i use since I also PC in a garage

look forward to seeing your setup, thanks.

My garage is pretty big, and theres never any cars there. We park outside. It is basically a storage unit/mancave. Ideal for PC runs if you ask me. I can have the cycle running while I chill on a comfy sofa having a beer while reading 7 year old posts about grain moisture. If or when I get a flow hood, I would set it up there as well, I can find a corner and arrange a little ghetto lab.

EDIT: the pressure regulator is off in this picture in order to "evacuate the air that is not steam"

You do this for 10 minutes and then you put the pressure regulator on and it will build up pressure up to 15~psi...

At least thats how it is on my PC model

I shall slightly change my earlier response to:

If you just started today, buy the plastic bags with injection ports installed in them already (noob friendly cuz its less work to deal with)

Once you are no longer a noob...you can do more pro shit and it will work better, cuz you work better

I wouldn't advice noobs to fuck with SHIPs. You'll want to inoc your bag with a wedge, or maybe LC, but once you're at that stage you'll most likely want to free-pour from the vessel, instead of using a syringe.

Actually, jars with their small volume are 'better' to fuck up than bags, and give you more opportunity to practice clean work.

I agree with Churpee Choozle

Practicing with jars to keep your experiments small scale will give you more data to go off of

It depends on where these noobs are coming from because a lot of them have varying sources (youtube/reddit/etc.) telling them to try different things (LC/Agar wedge)

What you chose to do comes down to what your specific goal is

Probably a long shot but figured I would ask…

Have any enterprising shroomerites figured out a method for removing cracked corn from WBS? I have gotten ok results leaving it in, but I’m getting maybe 1.5 mediocre flushes. It’s pretty much impossible not to have it come out really sticky.

spawning uncolonized grains leaves grains exposed and unprotected to bacteria which withen 30 minutes doubles in size and bacterial load.

You have 2 spores cuz u fucked up ur pc cycle in the minutest way possible well it's still fucked lwk as in 2 days the bacterial load count will be off the charts

Not sure if there's a way to check though I'm sure there is

Wells anyways don't spawn uncolonized grain wait till it's ready ur fungi will thank you with fruits rather than the bacteria thanking you for the grains.

oh ok thx for clarifying but wym i have 2 spores?

Question:
I took a little chunk from the inside of a stipe, like I normally would for a clone. After a couple transfers, I left some plates undisturbed for months. They started to pin. If I put one of those pins on a fresh plate, would I just be making a clone of a clone? I know that would not be ideal, if so.

Sounds like a good fruiting culture. But yes, cloning that pin would be cloning a clone. Best to get them into a master whatever that is to be (slant or dried grains or water) and then run the working culture until you need to go back.
